Stunning in scope, and fearless in the writing. To begin with the sentence "The moon blew up with no warning and for no apparent reason" and to be able seamlessly to start a section with "Five thousand years later" should give some sense for the breadth of Stevenson's narrative, and he delivers with an extremely compelling narrative. Don't expect to be coddled by the story, but do expect to be challenged, to be surprised (by sudden death and all-too-human failures), and to be thinking all the way to the final pages.
